Grit is that ‘extra something’ that separates the most successful people from the rest. It’s the passion, perseverance, and stamina that we must channel in order to stick with our dreams until they become a reality.

Travis Bradberry –

I think the questions on the grit scale about not letting setbacks disappoint you, finishing what you begin, doing things with focus, I think that those are things I would aspire to or hope for for all our children.

Angela Duckworth –

Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.

Greg Anderson –

All growth depends upon activity. There is no development physically or intellectually without effort, and effort means work.

People can do more than they ever believe they can do. Physically, mentally, academically. You have to be pushed. It hurts. But it’s worth it, and it’s a great thing.

Sugar Ray Leonard –

I don’t put people down. I build people up. That’s how I always wanna be looked at.

B. C. Forbes –

All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination.

Earl Nightingale –
